Just curious, for those who have seen the film--what did you think of
it? I finally watched it a few weeks ago and wasn't too impressed.
The story is interesting enough, but it struck me as really derivative
stylistically--like a mix of the Matrix, Fight Club, and Gladiator.
I'm reading the novels now, but I wasn't too impressed with the movie
and wonder how it will go over with US audiences.
